[PATCH v4 01/22] receive-pack: do not overallocate command structure

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date
Sep 5, 2014, 20:54 UTC
Message-ID
<1409950510-10209-2-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com>
In-Reply-To
<1409950510-10209-1-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com>

An "update" command in the protocol exchange consists of 40-hex old object name, SP, 40-hex new object name, SP, and a refname, but the first instance is further followed by a NUL with feature requests.

The command structure, which has a flex-array member that stores the refname at the end, was allocated based on the whole length of the update command, without excluding the trailing feature requests.
